Pictures from last night's Le Freak

February 5th, 2010 by Kelly Fitzpatrick

Last night’s Le Freak night at Peacock Room started off a bit slow but definitely picked up around midnight, as illustrated in this photo to the left. The night, featured a mixture of dance, disco and Latin beats throughout the evening in the backroom of the Peacock. A video played on a screen, behind the DJs, of locals dancing and partying in different spots around Orlando.

When the disco was playing earlier in the evening I was on the dance floor for a bit with my friend Heather and one of the event’s organizers, Patrick Scott Barnes (fortunately no one was able to get a picture of that). I even danced to “Le Freak” because, well, it was that kind of night. When the place started getting more packed after 11, that’s when the people brought on some of the freaky themselves (again as illustrated in the picture above) and added to the music backdrop of the night. Which actually started getting a bit manic as it got later, but people were definitely digging it.

Barnes, who shot all the photos, considers the night a success and plans on doing it again on March 20.

Go here to see more photos of the night, and if you haven’t gotten a chance yet, please check out Barnes’s collection of photos from Orlando nightlife over the years. They are the galleries at the bottom of his Facebook pictures page. He has a ton of images from early ’90s on. It will definitely make you nostalgic — I miss the Kit Kat Club!
